Atlanta [Unofficial] Remix - Big Boi, Lil' Scrappy, T.I., Young Jeezy

Its not LA remix its the official west coast remix the one with Dj quick and Game I dont know about the rest though...

I listened them and I agree, they aren't even remotely related to the orginal song, although I don't listen to rap music regularly myself. Leavebeaver2me

[edit] SoundScan Info

Just thought I'd clarify that the SoundScan sales total I added for the single is verified. The total downloads in the U.S. for "Ridin'" are 1,248,531 as of 9/24/06, though it is falling on the chart (only sold 13,700 that week). Note that is for the regular single, not for the ringtone.

[edit] where

where did you listen to them, I want to hear them Bazel 16:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I got them off the net, along with the real ones. (trust me you aren't missing anythin) --Leavebeaver2me 06:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] need them

I need to listen to them so I can confrim that they are real songs, where did you listen to them Bazel 21:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

You need to listen to them? Why you need to confirm? That is a official remix! Chamillionaire even leaked it to the internet! ~Sassychick1898

[edit] They're real man

There's a promo single out for the LA one, atleast. Has clean, dirty, and instrumental of the remix. (Rishi B 00:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Trvia Section

I removed thre Trivia section as it's uncyclopedic and violates WP:NOT, nothing to merge anyways, articles should not have them. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 18:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] international remixes

yep, they are real. i've got scans of cd. and it.s already in p2p --Mark Gubarenko 18:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect from "riding dirty" entry?

When querying "riding dirty", I was redirected to this entry. However, there is no explanation of how "riding dirty" relates to this article. Perhaps somebody could include that information in this article.

Anyone who would search for riding dirty would think that it is the name of the song, as it is repeated constantly throughout it. That's what I thought the song was. Therefore, anyone who would be redirected here would already understand why. Theunknown42 05:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I was looking for the definition of the term, not info about the song. Lizard sf 16:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd also like to know what the term means. --Arctic Gnome 05:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Racial profiling < Actual mentions of vehicle/traffic violations

Multiple references in this song bring up vehicle violations that would result in a police officer making a traffic stop: Window tint being too dark, stereo being too loud, drunk/wreckless driving. Let alone shooting somebody.

In any of these instances where the driver would get pulled over, the mere fact that the person had violated a law, no matter how small, may result in a warrantless search of the car (Whren v. United States). If that were the case, then the weapons described in the song, unless having a CCW, would be a felony. If large amounts of cash were found as well, then it could be seized due to a possibility of narcotics trafficing.

I'm just saying that the song complains about being pulled over for racial profiling, yet multiple reasons are given to be pulled over without racial profiling.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by D crest13 (talk • contribs) .

This may be true, but I don't see how this could be added to the article without it seeming very POV. —JeremyBanks Talk 03:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
